Question

A number is divided into
two parts such that one
Part is 10 more than
other. If the
two parts
are in the
ratio 5:3; find the
number and the two parts?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the two parts are in the ratio 5:3, then let the first number be 5x and second number be 3x. As second number is 10 more than the other, so it will be 3x+10.

5x=3x+10

2x=10

x=5

The first number becomes 5(5)=25 and second number becomes 3(5)=15.

The new number will be 25+15=40.
